>>131911641Archives do not go against 4chan culture.The whole point of pruning is to force people to abandon old threads and move on to new ones instead of discussing the same thing over and over, having the threads still there for viewing does not go against that as long as they aren't on the board and can't be replied to. Even when they added the 7-day archive it changed nothing.

>>131911757>Even when they added the 7-day archive it changed nothing.I'd like a middle ground between a permanent archive and no archiving at all. Make it six months, a year at most. Enough to grab reasonably relevant material from the past before it's gone forever.

Personally, I used it to make image dumps for certain series and just post the link to it, in order to avoid redundant dumping.

>>131912305>410 Gone>Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available and will not be available again. This should be used when a resource has been intentionally removed and the resource should be purged. Upon receiving a 410 status code, the client should not request the resource again in the future. Clients such as search engines should remove the resource from their indices. Most use cases do not require clients and search engines to purge the resource, and a "404 Not Found" may be used instead.

>>131910111Do other boards other than /a/ even use the archive as much as we do? /a/ was the only board people would ghostpost on when 4chan was down. Just save /a/ and probably /jp/ and fuck the other boards.

>>131912430>There's not supposed to be any identityAnd there isn't, archives don't and can't save IPs.Unless you use a name or post your own personal information, in which case you can't really complain.

>there's not supposed to be any retaining of posts.Why not? Again, no identification is stored along with the posts so the whole "anonymous imageboard" thing is still intact.

>>131912430Without the archives we just talk about the same topics over and over again. There's no way to grab an image from an old thread or look up old information, so threads devolve into either reposting the same content constantly or things being lost.

>>131911874Moot hasnt been a part of this community in any major way for fucking years. All the interest he had in this site was finding a way to monetize it, or failing that sell it off.I'm not saying theres anything wrong with that but the point is who gives a shit what he thinks.

why would the school shooting shit even fuck with the archive? i understand if they had to take it down for a few days because of the huge amounts of traffic, but maybe they are just moving to a new domain name. r-right? ;_;

>>131912420I don't come to /a/ often and I use it daily. When I heard about it being down my first thought was "i'm gonna search the archive to see if anyone else is talking about this" before I realized my mistake.

No one, there aren't a lot of people with the financial resources and knowledge to take over from here. You could try to make the site self sustaining with some banner ads, but literally everyone on the non-shit boards uses adblock.

>>131913524But /r9k/ is literally Reddit 2.0. All the threads on /r/4chan are either from /r9k/ or /b/. And sine they removed the alogrythm to only allow unique images there's literally no reason for /r9k/ to exist other than neckbeard circlejerking.

>moot always hated archives>"It makes the 4chan experience less fun">tried to shut them down with no avail>sell the site to a hiro>fakes a shooting post>hiro don't understand sorry>FBI, CIA and other big guys investigate through the archivesFinally, now we will return to our glory days, thanks moot ;_;7

>>131913601You have to manually archive threads on suptg, so only the Quests and threads judged to be important/interesting get archived. The search function is also limited to the title, description and tags, meaning you can't search for individual topics, terms or anything else that's in the actual posts.

>>131914250fuck no. /r9k/ is a containment board. keep that shit there. do you understand what will happen if /r9k/ gets deleted? frogs will spill everywhere and they'll shitpost till they get their board back.

>>131914378Who the hell even uses >mfw anymore?We were pretty successful in chasing that idiocy, as well as >tfw off. I almost never see that shit anymore and it's usually attached to a dead thread or an obvious shitpost when it crops up.

Hell, we've been shunning frogposting and feelposting to pretty good effect. The only reason you see so many "tbh", "smh" and "fams" is because the niggerell clique loves them and spam them along with the rest of their usual shit. Don't mistake a few exceptionally dedicated autists on mobile for the average of /a/.

>>131914581Eggman made a false claim the night before with horrible timing a hispanic shooter came out of nowhere in oregon. The media had mix views how some were egging him on and some weren't. People suddenly went to the thread through the archive to ghost post about it.

>>131914874Let's see what happened on 4chan in 2014:>Gamergate>The Fappenning>Someone killed his girlfriend and posted it to /b/.>moot's most humiliating experience was made public and the members of his own community laughed at him for monthsWho could blame the guy?

>>131912626>All the interest he had in this site was finding a way to monetize itnot really, if he wanted to he really could have , the problem with moot is he stuck to his principles too much.he could have opened a 4chan and sold cheaply made items with memes printed on them and he would have made mad cash, but he found the notion of profiting off memes and other peoples work as repugnant so he didn't.
